Requirements for the Tunes HLL


HLL Requirements

The HLL should be a way to transmit and manipulate information, in its duality between freedom and security. Let's grok that by re-reading the "Why a New OS?" article.

Founding Principles

Basic Principles

Extensibility

Low-level awareness

Nice Human interface

Non-Requirements


Note

Phew ! Those are enough, aren't they ? Well, if you know of any other feature it should have, please tell me.
At least, they are enough to prevent any existing language I know from being selected )-8.
However, I do not know that many, and may be wrong about some.
So if you do know of any language that you think fulfills those requirements, please do tell me !
If you think it fulfills many of them, but find it not in the list of languages that were considered, please also tell me. Summaries about such languages are also greatly appreciated.
